Harry Potter - September

-
November, 2015
Fandom: Harry Potter
Song: September by Daughtry

Description:
September could mean a lot of things. Obviously it's the month where everything begins and life completely changes for Harry. It's when Hogwarts starts, so it might have been his favorite month. That's because Harry despised summer. Metaphorically though, September means turning away from the good times. Summer is like childhood. September could mean growing up. It could mean running away. It could mean the war. For Harry's life though, it sure doesn't mean the month.

I really tried to up my technical and coloring skills while making this. I absolutely LOVE the coloring - the black/white tones are beautiful. The colored section in the middle also stands out. I didn't mess with timing at all still, which was a limitation. By that I mean nothing is in slow/fast motion, it's all in real-time (because changing that is a REAL PAIN in PowerDirector). Editing-wise, I think this is quite advanced and masterful and a real step up from past Harry Potter videos!

What's unique is that in hindsight I dislike the content. Usually on my own videos, I feel the opposite and love the content, dislike the technicalities. This is on my list of videos to redo (hopefully with the same coloring aesthetic) but with more well-rounded content that doesn't stick so severely to Deathly Hallows Part 1 and try to tell too much "story" in chronological order in a way that doesn't make sense. I'd want a more generalized Harry Potter video.

Harry Potter - Lonely

    January, 2021 (Made public February, 2021) Fandom/Character: Harry Potter Song: Lonely by Justin Bieber Description: Who knew Justin Bieber and Harry Potter were the same person? This is for the favorite character challenge as part of The Happiness Project! I thought a lot about vidding which characters were popular at the moment or more current. If you ask me my honest answer for favorite character of all time though, it'd still be the one and only Harry.   Unfortunately this song was unavailable for me on YouTube. Please visit the vimeo link to watch the whole thing: https://vimeo.com/501887944 Program: vegaspro 18 Coloring: sunnyvids Soon You'll Get Better   I probably spent more time navigating how to upload this video rather than the editing process. I knew the song was popular at the moment, so I checked to see if any others vidded to this song already. The answer? They had. There was even a video within the Harry Potter fandom TO THIS SONG uploaded recentl...

Adele - Blue is the Warmest Color - Paper Thin

  August, 2022 Fandom: Blue is the Warmest Color Song: Paper Thin by Astrid S Program: VegasPro18 Coloring: Winter by SunnyVids   Description: "I have infinite tenderness for you"  Yes, tenderness is the word I would use to describe Adele in a nutshell, and it is Emma's (French-translated-into-English) word of choice as well. Adele is one of the most beautiful characters I have ever seen in media. She conveys such a vulnerable and painful lust it's almost hard to breathe when you watch her on screen. And I'm saying that as a heterosexual woman.    I wrote more about my thoughts on this very special film here:  http://narrativemultiverse.blogspot.com/2020/07/blue-is-warmest-color.html    I am on a roll!!!!..... Or was. I expect this to be my last video before I start a new full-time job and once again sacrifice the majority of my waking hours. I am proud of the fact that in the time between graduation from grad school and the start of my new ...

Troy & Gabriella - She is the Sunlight

  September, 2021   Fandom - High School Musical Trilogy Song - She is the Sunlight by Trading Yesterday Description: "If right is leaving, I'd rather be wrong" are some of the hardest lyrics to ever hit. Also Gabriella is a literal sunshine of a character and I've idolized her since I was a kid. I've edited this for The Happiness Project's Nostalgia Challenge! Proudly, this challenge was my idea and I was feeling kind of down that it wasn't going to happen because I didn't have the time to put it together. That said, I started editing this video a few days ago anyways because I still wanted to make it. When I heard that someone else was hosting the challenge I was ecstatic and went straight to finishing this! Program: VegasPro 18 Coloring: Sunnyvids #7   Well this was a fast one to make! Just a few days and some very long sittings. I was surprised how quickly I was able to finish because usually, when I vid a fandom for the first time, it's very s...
